An alternate ending for AMC's hit series Breaking Bad has popped up on the Web, only to be pulledfrom YouTube by Sony Pictures, citing copyright infringement. (But if you search hard enough, you can probably still find it!)

The ending, which appears on the Breaking Bad: The Complete Series DVD box set, re-imagines the series' last scene as a dream of Hal from the Fox sitcom Malcolm in the Middle, played by Bad star Bryan Cranston from 2000 to 2006. (The video is a nod to the finale of Newhart
.)
